A place for conversation about cocktails, ingredients, home mixology, the bar industry or liquor industry, glassware - this is not an exhaustive list. If you think it's in some way related to cocktails it's probably fine.
If you post something you didn't create give credit whenever possible.
Pictures and recipes are encouraged when posting a drink as a standalone post. Example of an ideal drink post:

We love garnishes.
Remember the code of conduct, keep it nice. In terms of cocktails- specific etiquette that might be different from other communities:
Mentioning your blog, insta, website, book or bar is allowed, yes. For now at least, we do allow self-promotion. If it gets out of hand this might change.
A good post with a drink you don't like is still a good post! Try not to conflate the drink and the post or poster. If someone has a relevant title, gorgeous photo and clearly formatted recipe of what you consider a truly terrible drink, a comment is more appropriate than a downvote.
On that topic: Polite critique/reviews of drinks (or posts, images, etc.) is allowed here. Encouraged , even. It's a good tool for improving your drinks and content. Really, just be nice.
Recipe from Jeffrey Morgenthaler
1½ oz Amaretto (I used Luxardo, but Disaronno works as well)
¾ oz cask-proof Bourbon (I used Penelope Barrel Strength Four Grain - 115 proof)
1 oz lemon juice
1 tsp 2:1 simple syrup
½ oz egg white
Combine ingredients in shaker
Blend with immersion blender until egg whites frothy
Add ice and shake
Double strain over fresh ice
This taste like a whiskey sour variation and it is delicious. Using the immersion blender gives you great foam with minimal effort.
Awesome. Did you like it?
A little too sweet for me, made one after that was more of a bourbon sour with amaretto and loved that one. That trick with the immersion blender is great.
